On an average about 82 500 000 m³sk was measured per year during the 2009-2013 period with different measurement methods. Some of the methods used today to measure / calculate timber volumes are methods that were developed in 1973, which includes a high degree of subjective judgment and manual work. The trend is towards a more computerized future and the application Timbeter is a timber measuring method that has a great potential. The main goal with this study was to evaluate this application to investigate if it produces the same results as if you are measuring with the current measurement methods. The secondary goals in the project were:• To investigate whether the distance from the meter to the wood pile affects results• Examine different users provide different result• Investigate whether adjustments to the data in the application differs from the unadjusted data, to see if we can rely on the unadjusted data.This was done in three pieces of timber stacks located in three different locations with different sizes and with different geometrical shapes. The results of t-tests and regression analysis shows that the volume (m³fpb) is affected by:• The distance to the lumber-stack.• The individual measuring with Timbeter application.• There was a significant difference between the unadjusted data and the adjusted data, which indicates that the application needs streamlining to get faster.This allows the volume approximations are difficult to trust since the explanatory rate from the regression analysis is as high as 99%. This study shows that the application both overestimates and underestimate the volume of the current measurement methods, the volume both increases and decreases depending on the distance that it measured from and that it depends on who is measuring with the application and that one can’t rely on unadjusted data to streamline application.
